I second this approach/experience. It's counter-intuitive but higher prices will probably mean better, and maybe even more satisfied, customers. I managed a store which had the lowest prices, by a lot, for service X in the city (I didn't set most prices). Instead of customers grateful for the bargain, we got, by far, the worst, most nitpicky, and craziest customers imaginable. I believe there have been some psych/consumer studies backing up the idea too: that the simple act of paying more can make customers feel more satisfied with otherwise identical products or pieces of work.
